Rumours suggesting London's Tube network will be targeted in a terrorist attack on Monday are "completely untrue", police say.

Messages claiming every single Metropolitan Police officer had been called into work from 4am on Monday in response to a specific threat to the London Underground spread across social media last night.

But a police spokesman told ITV News the message was "completely untrue", and would not be discussed further.

The London boss of the British Transport Police also rubbished the claims on Twitter, telling the public to "keep calm and carry on".
